She stated that her spouse was ignorant of her "gate-crashing" as the warm-up act before the annual conference's centrepiece during her lighthearted and frank address.

Here are some of the quotes from Akshata Murty 's speech:

We are best friends, one team

I could not image being anywhere else than here today to express my support for Rishi and the party because we are each other's greatest friends.

Struck by two things about him

"When we were both 24 years old and studying abroad in America, Rishi and I first connected. Two things about him stood out to me right away: his ardent love for his own country of the United Kingdom and his genuine desire to provide as many people as possible the chance to experience the same possibilities he was fortunate enough to enjoy. He felt utterly energised by it. The decision to be with Rishi was the simplest I've ever made ".

During tough times

"I occasionally remind Rishi that he is fighting for his principles when things become difficult. that despite the difficulties ahead, he is fighting for the principles of our party. That success is a difficult one ".

His incredible zest for life

"He has an amazing enthusiasm for living. His moral rectitude, forthrightness, and ability to distinguish right from wrong were what pulled me to him the most. It's what I continue to be pulled to even now, 14 years into my marriage."

A proud wife

"Rishi, you are aware that doing the right thing over the long run, despite difficulty, is the best course of action. I hope you are also aware of how happy you make our daughters and me every day ".
